first encrypted msg is KHOOR - which contains two Os at the third and fourth places. So repetition of letter occurs in the third and fourth places. Only HELLO has the sequence.
The common letter between first encrypted word and second is letter K
KHOOR and WKLQN
k is decoded as H
so WKLQN should contain H at second place. Only answer with H at second place is THINK.
